Going through menarche at 12 years old, without the loving support and encouragement of a mother, whom I had lost at birth, brought with it a challenge and an opportunity for healing that I neither expected or imagined. The difficulties that I had going through my teens, suffering with PMS, depression and extreme fatigue, as well as nutritional indiscretion, hormonal imbalance and addiction to caffeine, followed by the trials and errors of dealing with a blossoming sexuality, paved the path for me to become a healer.

At 19 years old, I was determined to heal my heart, my soul, my body, my diet, my addictions, my imbalances and all of my pain. I was convinced that I wasn't the only woman going through such hardships, and I knew that if I could heal myself, I would be able to assist other young girls and women heal their pain, hearts and out-of-whack hormones.I spent the next 14 years studying in college, medical schools and reading everything that I could get my hands on, and with great effort I started to heal - slowly but surely.

It is so exciting for me now, and most definitely for my patients when they report,“I had no PMS this month”; or “the hot flashes were minimal”, “I am sleeping well and having good dreams” and “I feel good”, “my cells feel happy”. As women, our bodies are vulnerable to all of the nuances of nature. The food we eat, the fluid that we drink, the thoughts and dreams that we have, and the relationships we keep. All of the choices that we make affect our daily rhythms and the state and quality of our health. Correcting the subtle or gross imbalances in our bodies, whether hormonal, nutritional, behavioral or psychological is necessary in order for us to have optimal health. Identification of the cause of the imbalance is our starting point.

Through consultation, physical exam, laboratory testing and comprehensive nutritional and hormonal evaluation, I will determine where the imbalance is and assist you in feeling wonderful again.
